Hapgood Jr. Committee Member ABSTRACT The history of Arkansas Razorback football is composed of legends, and without a doubt, Jim Lindsey is one of its most successful players–on and off the field. Lindsey won a national championship, became an NFL captain and built a thriving real-estate empire across the South. Narrated by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, “The Jim Lindsey Story” begins in the Arkansas Delta. Back then, Lindsey was simply a small boy who dreamt of playing ball.
